Stories set in the Oversaturated World, some silly, some less so.
"I really shouldn't do this..."
"Give yourself a break, you were young once too! You owe it to the little girl you used to be!"
"But it's so... juvenile."
"Oh, one building couldn't hurt, right?"
Celestia took in a deep breath, looking up at the office building in downtown Canterlot. It was easily fifteen stories.
"It's now or never, Celestia," she thought to herself. She crouched down, feeling the rays of the sun hit upon her skin. It was... empowering.
"Up, up..." She whispered, and jumped...
Luna flopped onto the couch, the local news already playing on the TV as she flipped through her phone to check emails. Another long school day, and she was beat.
"In local news," the anchor said with a sort of forced cheer, "It's not a bird, it's not a plane, but it appears that the last woman from Croupton was seen leaping over tall buildings in a single bound in downtown Canterlot today! The pictures of this mysterious non-Pegasus aspected woman clearing skyscrapers like an Olympic hurdler have been making their way across social media."
Luna paused what she was doing, a look of shock spreading across her face as a blurry photo of a certain aurora-haired woman clearing the Crystal Empire State Building superimposed itself next to the news anchor's head.
"All I have to say is train conductors better watch their backs before she decides to start racing locomotives for kicks! Back to you, Bob."
The scene changed back to the boring male anchor, who shuffled a few papers, "Thank you, Aerith. Next up! Trans-tribalism: Reborn in the wrong body? Stay tuned!"
Luna's jaw dropped as it cut to commercial. Slowly, she closed her mouth, before turning around on the couch.
"TIAAAAAAAA! YOU HAVE SOME EXPLAINING TO DO!"
Thankfully, Celestia is more original Siegel-and-Shuster Superman than Silver Age asshat Superman. Don't expect her to toss planets or develop super-weaving powers anytime soon.

Earth aspect, bitches. They will mess you up.
Great chapter, loved those classic Superman refs, and I really laughed at the little FF7 nod.
No, no. That should be Tia. You got some splanin to do.
This troper sees what was done there.
Super-grading!

I'd like to thank our editor for coming up with a better horse pun for Krypton than I ever could
Aerith and Bob. I see that.

I'd like to think that Bob's just short for Bobby Pin, who got his start with (questionable) investigative journalism. Aerith Metic meanwhile specializes in news polls and is just the biggest math nerd.
So is Luna Batman then?

Luna is above such juvenile exercises. (Also, she doesn't have the power of infinite money. You wouldn't even believe how much a good utility belt goes for.)
I like this one a lot. Makes sense to give EG Celestia the original Superman's powers.

Besides, everypony knows she's actually Batmare.
That's where all of the bat ponies descend from, after all...
It's a bird, it's a plane! No! It's a Pretty Pony Princess!
Good to know she won't be killing or imprisoning her sister or the mane 7 every other issue either. Silver age Supes was a bit of a dick.
Dammit, my brain read that in Desi Arnez’s voice, and now it won’t stop trying to write a pilot script for ‘I Love Cellie’.
“Aww, Lulu, why do ya gotta be out late at the club all the time? Little Twily misses you!”
